Item 1.
|
Security and Issuer.
|
|
|
This amended Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of OceanPal
Inc. (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is Pendelis 26, 175 64 Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece.
|
|
|
|
|
Item 2.
|
Identity and Background.
|
|
|
This amended Schedule 13D is being filed on
behalf of Semiramis Paliou (“Paliou”), a citizen of Greece, Tuscany Shipping Corp., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Tuscany”), and 4 Sweet Dreams S.A. a Marshall Islands corporation (“4 Sweet Dreams”). Paliou, Tuscany and 4 Sweet Dreams are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons.” Paliou is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tuscany and 4 Sweet
Dreams, respectively, and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by Tuscany and 4 Sweet Dreams, respectively.
The principal business address for the Reporting Persons is Pendelis 16, 175 64 Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece.
The Reporting Persons have not, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were not and are not subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
|
|
|
|
|
Item 3.
|
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
|
|
|
Pursuant to the Issuer’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, 991 awarded Series C Convertible
Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), have vested, of which the Reporting Persons own 515 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, and in accordance with their terms, have become convertible, at the Reporting Persons’ option,
giving effect to certain ownership restrictions contained in the Series C Preferred Stock’s statement of designation, including that the shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into the Issuers’ Shares to the extent that
such conversion would result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding Shares.
As partial consideration for the Issuer’s purchase of the m/v Baltimore from Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping”),
the Issuer issued 25,000 shares of its 7.0% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) to Diana Shipping. Diana Shipping exercised its right to convert shares of the Series D Preferred Stock
into shares of the Issuer’s Shares in accordance with the Statement of Designations defining the rights, terms and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock. Diana Shipping distributed on December 15, 2022, all of the common shares issued
upon the conversion of certain shares of Series D Preferred Stock to its common shareholders of record as of November 28, 2022 (the “Record Date”), on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”). In connection with the Distribution, Diana Shipping
allowed its common shareholders of record as of the Record Date to elect to receive the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock allocable to such shareholder instead of the Shares.
The Reporting Persons, as common shareholders of Diana Shipping as of the Record Date, elected to receive their Diana
Shipping distribution in shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of Shares through their ownership of Series D Preferred Stock which may be converted into common shares at the
Reporting Persons’ option, subject to certain ownership restrictions contained in the Series D Preferred Stock’s statement of designation, including that shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into the Issuers’ common
shares to the extent that such conversion would result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding common Shares.
|
|
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction.
|
|
|
Paliou is a director and the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of the Issuer and may
have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares in connection with the Issuer’s equity awards and the Distribution as
described herein solely for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may acquire additional Shares, including in connection with the provision of any services or other strategic transactions with the
Issuer, or dispose of any or all of the Shares they then own depending upon an ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, other investment considerations and/or other
factors. The Reporting Persons further reserve the right to act in concert with any other shareholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose should they determine to do so, and/or to recommend courses of action to the Issuer's
management, the Issuer's Board of Directors, the Issuer's shareholders and others. In addition, the Reporting Persons are in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the members of the Issuer's Board of Directors, other significant
shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to increase shareholder value.
|
|
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
|
|
(a. & b.) As of April 26, 2023, the Issuer had 25,183,996 Shares outstanding. Based on the foregoing, the
Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following Shares:
Tuscany is the record holder of (i) 3,293
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 10,751,951 Shares, representing 29.92% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares which Paliou indirectly may be deemed to beneficially own, as the result of her
ability to control the vote and disposition of the Shares through her control of Tuscany. 4 Sweet Dreams is the holder of (i) 860 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 2,807,980 Shares, representing 9.46% of
the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares and (ii) 515 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, convertible into an aggregate of 1,681,523 Shares,
representing 5.67% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares, both of which Paliou indirectly may be deemed to beneficially own, as the result of her ability to control the vote and disposition of the Shares through her control of 4
Sweet Dreams. Therefore, Paliou may be deemed to, indirectly, beneficially own 15,241,454 Shares, representing 37.7% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding Shares.
Tuscany has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 0 shares and has the shared power to vote or direct the vote
of 10,751,951 Shares. 4 Sweet Dreams has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 0 Shares and has the shared power to vote or direct the vote of 4,489,503 Shares. Paliou has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 0 Shares and has

(c.) Except as described in Item 3, above, no transactions in the Shares were effected by the persons enumerated in
Item 2 during the past 60 days.
(d.) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.
(e.) Not applicable.
|
|
|
Item 6.
|
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
Issuer.
|
|
|
|
On March 20, 2023, the Issuer issued 1,200 shares of its newly-designated Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E
Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, to Paliou.
|
|
|
|
The Series E Preferred Stock has no dividend or liquidation rights. The Series E Preferred Stock votes with the
Shares, and each share of the Series E Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to up to 25,000 votes, on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Issuer, subject to up to 15% of the total number of votes entitled to be
cast on matters put to shareholders of the Issuer. The Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, at the election of the holder, in whole or in part, into Shares at a conversion price equal to the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the Issuer’s
Shares, subject to certain adjustments, at any time after (i) the cancellation of all of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock or (ii) the transfer for all of the Issuer’s Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, a "Series B Event"). The 15%
limitation discussed above, shall terminate upon the occurrence of a Series B Event. The Series E Preferred Stock is transferable only to the holder's immediate family members and to affiliated persons or entities, with the prior consent of
the Issuer.
